Course Description
Further Web Programming provides a range of enabling skills for independent development of small to medium-scale industry standard web applications. These skills will equip you to be ready for commercial development and to meet the demand of small to medium sized organisations such as start-ups, small businesses, and other ventures.
Emphasis is placed on the processes, tools and frameworks required to develop applications for current and emerging web platforms.
In addition, you will learn industry level development methodologies as well as selected software engineering patterns such as Event Driven Programming. Through practical work, you will encounter a variety of real-world scenarios.
Objectives/Learning Outcomes/Capability Development
This is a program option course in BP094, BP096, BP162 and BP232 programs.
Upon successful completion of this course, you will be able to:
- Explain the fundamental challenges and opportunities of working with and developing web applications;
- Demonstrate proficiency with a web application development framework;
- Implement a range of techniques and procedures for developing a small to medium-scale web application;
- Demonstrate knowledge of and utilise software engineering patterns in development;
- Design and manage the development life-cycle of a complete application.
